But, it is the close minded ideologues who feed hatred of the LGBTQ community. Who but Christians hold signs saying God Hates F-A-G-S? It feeds hatred.

Sad to say, but criminals and madman don't and won't obey the law. I think banning assault weapons is a good idea, but have you ever tried to put toothpaste back into the tube?

Yea, Muslins don't bother with signs. They just toss gays off roofs and otherwise kill them

Can you cite me an example other than the "christian" hate group known as the Westborough Baptist church?

And FYI my now-daughter is a person who has gender dystopia. We accept that.

What is the opposite of free thinking, or open-minded, people?

Yes. When Josh Duggar, famous fundamentalist, spoke against same-sex marriage on the steps of the Capitol building, many people in the crowd were holding up hateful anti-gay signs. Some had the signs plastered on the sides of their cars.

I mentioned that in multiple posts on this forum. Not one fundamentalist condemned their actions.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the people who make posts about gays spreading AIDS or gays going to hell to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ community.

So is it your opinion that your words and the words of millions of like minded Christians and Muslims do not have any effect on the mindset of people, especially fellow believers , towards gays ? You can try to rationalize this all you wish , but just have the decency to answer this question .

Do you think that all the attacks you and others make on gays 24/7/365 have no effect on how people view them ?

I think Westboro is enough. However there are other Christian hate groups, including White Supremacist, KKK, Neo Nazi. SPLC has a list of them.

Your daughter deserves protection from Bible toting hatemongers. Acceptance is just the start.
I can only imagine her fear when she uses a public bathroom.

Well Pat Robertson stated what happened was a good thing and that its God's judgement on America for gay marriage. This nut is no different from the Islamic extremist that hate America.

He then states... " at least no normal people were killed"

Orlando shootings are 'God's punishment' for same-sex marriage, claims US TV evangelist Pat Robertson - Mirror Online
